Your contributions

This morning I checked to see if anyone had finally written an article on Richard Shweder and was pleased to see that you had done so. I share a number of your interests in anthropology, queer studies and Harvard, and I've written a some articles in each of these areas. I had been planning to write an article on Shweder for some time, but never got around to it.

Your idea of "a WikiProject to clean up and expand articles related to socio-cultural anthropology" is a good one, and I might be able to help. Please feel free to check out some of the articles [started]. My own areal interests would be South Asia, above all, but then also be other places I've lived: Turkey, Latin America, Korea and Egypt. The universities I'm most interested in are those in which I've studied: Harvard, the University of Delhi, and the University of Chicago.

Donald Tuzin

Tuzin was a professor of mine, and I was planning on creating his article myself, but I think you've done him more justice than I ever could, so I just wanted to give you kudos! One question though. Since you are an anthropologist and perhaps own some of his books, I don't suppose any of them in the publication information section contain his year of birth?

Moribund language

Thank you for your great contributions to the Moribund language page! I noticed, though, that there are no references on the page or in the text there... as you seem knowledgeable on the subject, could you add some references to the page? Thanks! mitcho/芳貴 15:47, 7 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Done. Mccajor 20:10, 10 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for theTanya Luhrmann entry!

I've been reading Of Two Minds and found your entry on Tanya Luhrmann. It is very good. Most excellent. Just the information I was looking. Keep up the good work (or, rather, please, please continue contributing to Wikipedia).

Availability for Wikipedia:WikiProject_Anthropology/Collaboration_of_the_month

The probable sorry state of 'core anthropology' articles on Wikipedia has been recently identified here

As a self-nominated Wikipedia:WikiProject_Anthropology member, I thought I'd check on your interest and willingness to see anthropology better represented on Wikipedia? Bruceanthro (talk) 14:29, 20 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Unreferenced BLPs

Hello Mccajor! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 2 of the articles that you created are tagged as Unreferenced Biographies of Living Persons. The biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to ensure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. If you were to bring these articles up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current 139 article backlog. Once the articles are adequately referenced, please remove the {{unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the list:

Stephen O. Murray - Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL
Hagop S. Akiskal - Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL

Disambiguation link notification for May 28

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Lola Romanucci-Ross, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Manus. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

MurielMary (talk) 11:18, 30 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@MurielMary: Thanks. I have added a number of citations and begun to flesh out a description of Naomi Quinn's intellectual legacy. I am curious, as I was looking through the Talk page, that there are categories for [category:Unknown-importance Women scientists articles] and Category:Unknown-importance Women's History articles but there don't seem to be corresponding Categories for Unknown Important Men Scientists or Unknown Importance Scientists articles. Can you enlighten me as to why women scholars get singled out for the extra scrutiny? Mccajor (talk) 22:27, 4 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, yes I agree the categorisation by gender on Wikipedia is very odd! There are categories without a gender title e.g. "Biologists" say, and then there is a sub-category "Women biologists" but no sub-category "Men biologists". I think there have been very long and very tense discussions/arguments/fights on WP about this issue and there has never been a clear resolution. I think there are many editors who believe "women biologists" for example should be a subset of "biologists" but in my opinion "biologists" should have subcategories of "men biologists" and "women biologists". I think I'm definitely in the minority on that though! Anyway, because there is no agreement on having categories for men, there is no systematic categorisation for biographies of men on WP. MurielMary (talk) 22:55, 4 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the clarification. It just brings to mind the extra scrutiny of women scholars on Wikipedia, particularly around "notability". Mccajor (talk) 19:31, 20 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Copyright problem on Psychoanalytic institutes and societies in the United States

Some of the content you included in the above article appears to have been copied from elsewhere online. Copying text directly from a source is a violation of Wikipedia's copyright policy. Unfortunately, for copyright reasons, some content had to be removed. Content you add to Wikipedia should be written in your own words. Please leave a message on my talk page if you have any questions. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 14:18, 2 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Jungian Institutes and Societies in North America moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Jungian Institutes and Societies in North America, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.
